It sucks to be sitting at 3 losses now, but it’s better now rather than getting the third the last two weeks of the season. At least OM has a chance to move back up in the polls by winning out. There are several 2 loss teams and some will pick up their 3rd and drop at the wrong time. Of the current 3 loss teams, OM has the more favorable schedule left. LSU has Texas and Tennessee left. Missouri and SC still have Georgia left. OM just needs to get the offense back on track against Oklahoma.

As we head into the 2nd round of playoffs for 1A, it seems pretty clear to me on who will advance to round 3 from the North. However, the South has several intriguing matchups that I think could go either way. Here are the matchups with my picks in bold. Share your thoughts on these as well. South Delta at Bogue Chitto Stringer at Ethel (toss-up) Nanih Waiya at Lumberton

Yep McComb, Poplarville, and Pass Christian will score alot on their opponents!

I think will be interesting how they draw up the region schedule. I am sure Magee and Mendenhall will play the last weak. I think McLaurin and Quitman should play first Friday in October at least u get some daylight driving.

They should have taken Pisgah and St Andrew's north. I instead they created a completely new weak region 6. 2 hours to McLaurin pending your direction you drive.

As long as its like game 5 maybe. I can see that. Maybe it works better for some than it does others.

I’d rather play Gulfport than Brandon or Meridian. They’re both tougher matchups than Gulfport. In my opinion.

You would rather play at gport than play a home game in south state? Please explain that

I’m personally praying this happens.

If you told me beforehand that all that happened, I think my reaction would still be “OK so Georgia only won by 14, right?”

That game was after the Georgia-Bama game and Georgia was due for a let down. If you remember, Bama lost to Tennessee the next weekend as well. Plus that is a rivalry game and apparently Georgia forgot that. Throw in the fact they had four turnovers and a missed FG. And that added up to a loss. How is that for an explanation…

I think we are going to keep us an open date next season. That really helped us out this year with all our injuries

I wish Quitman had protested. We are 15 minutes from Clarkdale & 30 minutes from Southeast Lauderdale yet we are not in the same region?!?!?! Instead we are stuck traveling an hour & half to Megee & Mendenhall!!

I highly wager at least one 3 loss team gets in, maybe two. Ole Miss, LSU, and Ohio State did almost everything they could do to NOT be that three loss invite after today.

Gonna need an explanation for how on God’s green earth Georgia managed to lose to Auburn… In Athens, at that.

What a rough weekend for all three teams. USM & Ole Miss get blown out at home and State loses to a bad Vanderbilt team. A couple of games made the weekend a bit less worse … ND beating the Thugs and Michigan losing. Oh and not that I really care but Kiffin losing was okay in my book as well. Just an awful weekend overall.

Not really when coaches have posted on MHSAA website.

There is not chance in the world this team is winning 2 more games. I mean it would be the most surprising thing I’ve witnessed in all my years of being a State fan if they beat either Auburn or Ole Miss. If you can’t beat THAT Vandy team, I have zero belief in you against any other SEC team. Tennessee Tech in two weeks is a good FCS team….. I’m not totally sold on that one being a safe and easy W.

Little early to be posting about the 2027 schedule isnt it?

St Martin week 1 Caledonia weeks 4, 6 Columbia weeks 1, 2

83, I pretty much agree. IF Lebby showed more improvement last year, he would have banked some leniency… he needs to find 2 more wins to survive.

He didn’t have nearly enough credit in the bank built up before the injuries to be able to rely on them as a crutch. At least from my standpoint. What I struggle with is this…. If you are an optimistic Jeff Lebby believer through and through…. What exactly are you holding onto right now? That if Kamario Taylor comes back and is healthy for a full season, you MIGHT win 7 or 8 games next year? Is that the ceiling worth hanging onto here? And what happens in two years with Kamario is gone to the NFL and this guy still hasn’t recruited competitively whatsoever? Keenum and Selmon need to decide how badly they want State be competitive in the SEC in this era. If State’s ambition as program is anything less than what you’re seeing at places like Kentucky, Indiana, UCLA, Utah, etc., then let’s all just go ahead and say so and not waste our time putting any time or effort into this charade. Don’t ask your fanbase to pay the players’ salaries and buy tickets and then tell them that 3-20 in the SEC is acceptable when programs that were similarly stationed to you a year or two ago have gotten their act together. Your arch rival is about to have a season where they’ll be disappointed to ONLY be 9-3, and you’re telling me that three years in this is all State’s program can be. There is an old expression that would apply to State football right now, that being “don’t pee on me and tell me it’s rain”.

Injuries are a reason State is struggling, not an excuse. Still, losing to this year’s Vandy at home? Lebby better figure out a way to get 6 wins or he’s gone. Ole Miss getting embarrassed by Georgia tonight.

Completely inexcusable loss for Lebby, but State isn’t a serious football program so I’m sure his 3-20 SEC record will be tolerated just fine in the Bryan Building and Lee Hall.
